See the festival organisers 10 TIM: Good morning. Youre through to the tourist information office, Tim speaking. How can I help you? JEAN: Oh hello. Could you give me some information about next months festival, please? My family and I will be staying in the town that week. TIM: Of course. Well it starts with a concert on the afternoon of the 17th. JEAN: Oh I heard about that. The orchestra and singers come from the USA, dont they? TIM: Theyre from Canada. Theyre very popular over there. Theyre going to perform a number of well-known pieces that will appeal to children as well as adults. JEAN: That sounds good. My whole family are interested in music. TIM: The next day, the 18th, theres a performance by a ballet company called Eustatis. JEAN: Sorry? TIM: The name is spelt E-U-S-T-A-T-I-S. They appeared in last years festival, and went down very well. Again, their programme is designed for all ages. JEAN: Good. I expect well go to that. I hope theres going to be a play during the festival, a comedy, ideally. TIM: Youre in luck! On the 19th and 20th a local amateur group are performing one written by a member of group. Its called Jemima. Thatll be on in the town hall. Theyve already performed it two or three times. I havent seen it myself, but the review in the local paper was very good. JEAN: And is it suitable for children? TIM: Yes, in fact its aimed more at children than at adults, so both performances are in the afternoon. JEAN: And what about dance ? Will there by any performances? TIM: Yes, also on the 20th, but in the evening. A professional company is putting on a show of modern pieces, with electronic music by young composers. JEAN: Uh-huh. TIM: The show is about how people communicate, or fail to communicate, with each other, so its got the rather strange name, Chat. JEAN: I suppose thats because thats something we do both face to face and online. TIM: Thats right. TIM: Now there are also some workshops and other activities. Theyll all take place at least once every day, so everyone who wants to take part will have a chance. JEAN: Good. Were particularly interested in cookery you dont happen to have a cookery workshop, do you? TIM: We certainly do. Its going to focus on how to make food part of a healthy lifestyle, and itll show that even sweet things like cakes can contain much less sugar than they usually do. JEAN: That might be worth going to. Were trying to encourage our children to cook. TIM: Another workshop is just for children, and thats on creating posters to reflect the history of the town. The aim is to make children aware of how both the town and peoples lives have changed over the centuries. TIM: The results will be exhibited in the community centre. Then the other workshop is in toy-making, and thats for adults only. JEAN: Oh, whys that? TIM: Because it involves carpentry participants will be making toys out of wood, so therell be a lot of sharp chisels and other tools around. JEAN: It makes sense to keep children away from it. TIM: Exactly. Now let me tell you about some of the outdoor activities. Therell be supervised wild swimming JEAN: Wild swimming? Whats that? TIM: It just means swimming in natural waters, rather than a swimming pool. JEAN: Oh OK. In a lake, for instance. TIM: Yes, theres a beautiful one just outside the town, and thatll be the venue for the swimming. Therell be lifeguards on duty, so its suitable for all ages. And finally, therell be a walk in some nearby woods every day. TIM: The leader is an expert on insects. Hell show some that live in the woods, and how important they are for the environment. So there are going to be all sorts of different things to do during the festival. JEAN: There certainly are. TIM: If youd like to read about how the preparations for the festival are going, the festival organizer is keeping a blog. Just search online for the festival website, and youll find it. JEAN: Well, thank you very much for all the information. TIM: Youre welcome. Goodbye. JEAN: Goodbye. 1 EustatisGiải thích chi tiết >> Có một buổi biểu diễn của một công ty ba lê tên là Eustatis. >> Từ cần điền là "Eustatis" 2 reviewXem full giải thích 3 danceXem full giải thích 4 ChatXem full giải thích 5 healthyXem full giải thích 6 postersXem full giải thích 7 woodXem full giải thích 8 lakeXem full giải thích 9 insectsXem full giải thích 10 blogXem full giải thích Question 11 - 14 Choose the correct letter,A,BorC. 11 The park was originally established A as an amenity provided by the city council.

Over to you, Mark. Thank you. Im sure youre all familiar with Minster Park. Its been a feature of the city for well over a century, and has been the responsibility of the city council for most of that time. What perhaps isnt so well known is the origin of the park: unlike many public parks that started in private ownership, as the garden of a large house, for instance, Minster was some waste land, which people living nearby started planting with flowers in 1892. It was unclear who actually owned the land, and this wasnt settled until 20 years later, when the council took possession of it. You may have noticed the statue near one of the entrances. Its of Diane Gosforth, who played a key role in the history of the park. Once the council had become the legal owner, it planned to sell the land for housing. Many local people wanted it to remain a place that everyone could go to, to enjoy the fresh air and natural environment remember the park is in a densely populated residential area. Diane Gosforth was one of those people, and she organised petitions and demonstrations, which eventually made the council change its mind about the future of the land. Soon after this the First World War broke out, in 1914, and most of the park was dug up and planted with vegetables, which were sold locally. At one stage the army considered taking in over for troop exercises and got as far as contacting the city council, then decided the park was too small to be of use. There were occasional public meetings during the war, in an area that had been retained as grass. After the war, the park was turned back more or less to how it had been before 1914, and continued almost unchanged until recently. Plans for transforming it were drawn up at various times, most recently in 2013, though they were revised in 2015, before any work had started. The changes finally got going in 2016, and were finished on schedule last year. OK, let me tell you about some of the changes that have been made and some things that have been retained. If you look at this map, youll see the familiar outline of the park, with the river forming the northern boundary, and a gate in each of the other three walls. The statue of Diane Gosforth has been moved: it used to be close to the south gate, but its now immediately to the north of the lily pond, almost in the centre of the park, which makes it much more visible. Theres a new area of wooden sculptures, which are on the river bank, where the path from the east gate makes a sharp bend. There are two areas that are particularly intended for children. The playground has been enlarged and improved, and thats between the river and the path that leads from the pond to the river. Then theres a new maze, a circular series of paths, separated by low hedges. Thats near the west gate you go north from there towards the river and then turn left to reach it. There have been tennis courts in the park for many years, and theyve been doubled, from four to eight. Theyre still in the south-west corner of the park, where theres a right-angle bend in the path. Something else Id like to mention is the new fitness area. This is right next to the lily pond on the same side as the west gate. Now, as youre all gardeners, Im sure youll like to hear about the plants that have been chosen for the park. 11 CGiải thích chi tiết >> Tuy nhiên, "Its been a feature of the city for well over a century, and has been the responsibility of the city council for most of that time." >> Đó là một đặc điểm của thành phố trong hơn một thế kỷ qua và là trách nhiệm của hội đồng thành phố trong phần lớn thời gian đó. >> Đây không phải là "amenity" (tiện nghi) được cung cấp bởi thành phố mà đây là trách nhiệm của họ 12 AXem full giải thích 13 BXem full giải thích 14 CXem full giải thích 15 CXem full giải thích 16 AXem full giải thích 17 BXem full giải thích 18 AXem full giải thích 19 GXem full giải thích 20 DXem full giải thích Question 21 - 24 ChooseTWOletters,A-E.

GRAHAM: OK. CATHY: So, for the universitys open day, we have to plan a display on British life and literature in the mid-19th century. GRAHAM: Thats right. But well have some people to help us find the materials and set it up, remember for the moment, we just need to plan it. CATHY: Good. So have you gathered whos expected to come and see the display? Is it for the people studying English, or students from other departments? Im not clear about it. GRAHAM: Nor me. That was how it used to be, but it didnt attract many people, so this year its going to be part of an open day, to raise the universitys profile. GRAHAM: Itll be publicised in the city, to encourage people to come and find out something of what does on here. And its included in the information thats sent to people who are considering applying to study here next year. CATHY: Presumably some current students and lecturers will come? GRAHAM: I would imagine so, but weve been told to concentrate on the other categories of people. CATHY: Right. We dont have to cover the whole range of 19th-century literature, do we? GRAHAM: No, its entirely up to us. I suggest just using Charles Dickens. CATHY: Thats a good idea. Most people have heard of him, and have probably read some of his novels, or seen films based on them, so thats a good lead-in to life in his time. GRAHAM: Exactly. And his novels show the awful conditions that most people had to live in, dont they: he wanted to shock people into doing something about it. CATHY: Did he do any campaigning, other than writing? GRAHAM: Yes, he campaigned for education and other social reforms, and gave talks, but Im inclined to ignore that and focus on the novels. CATHY: Yes, I agree. CATHY: OK, so now shall we think about a topic linked to each novel? GRAHAM: Yes. Ive printed out a list of Dickens novels in the order they were published, in the hope youd agree to focus on him! CATHY: Youre lucky I did agree! Lets have a look. OK, the first was The Pickwick Papers, published in 1836. It was very successful when it came out, wasnt it, and was adapted for the theatre straight away. GRAHAM: Theres an interesting point, though, that theres a character who keeps falling asleep, and that medical condition was named after the book Pickwickian Syndrome. CATHY: Oh, so why dont we use that as the topic, and include some quotations from the novel? GRAHAM: Right, Next is Oliver Twist. Theres a lot in the novel about poverty. But maybe something less obvious CATHY: Well Oliver is taught how to steal, isnt he? We could use that to illustrate the fact that very few children went to school, particularly not poor children, so they learnt in other ways. GRAHAM: Good idea. Whats next? CATHY: Maybe Nicholas Nickleby. Actually he taught in a really cruel school, didnt he? GRAHAM: Thats right. But theres also the company of touring actors that Nicholas joins. We could do something on theatres and other amusements of the time. We dont want only the bad things, do we? CATHY: OK. GRAHAM: What about Martin Chuzzlewit? He goes to the USA, doesnt he? CATHY: Yes, and Dickens himself had been there a year before, and drew on his experience there in the novel. GRAHAM: I wonder, though The main theme is selfishness, so we could do something on social justice? No, too general, lets keep to your idea I think it would work well. CATHY: He wrote Bleak House next thats my favourite of his novels. GRAHAM: Yes, mine too. His satire of the legal system is pretty powerful. ...: CATHY: Thats true, but think about Esther, the heroine. As a child she lives with someone she doesnt know is her aunt, who treats her very badly. Then shes very happy living with her guardian, and he puts her in charge of the household. ...: And at the end she gets married and her guardian gives her and her husband a house, where of course theyre very happy. ...: GRAHAM: Yes, I like that. ...: CATHY: What shall we take next? Little Dorrit? Old Mr Dorrit has been in a debtors prison for years ...: GRAHAM: So was Dickens father, wasnt he? ...: CATHY: Thats right. ...: GRAHAM: What about focusing on the part when Mr Dorrit inherits a fortune, and he starts pretending hes always been rich? ...: CATHY: Good idea. ...: GRAHAM: OK, so next we need to think about what materials we want to illustrate each issue. Thats going to be quite hard. 21 BGiải thích chi tiết >> Nhưng ở đây Graham đã đính chính lại là nó từng như vậy nhưng không thu hút được người tham gia >> Loại câu A. 22 DXem full giải thích 23 BXem full giải thích 24 CXem full giải thích 25 GXem full giải thích 26 BXem full giải thích 27 DXem full giải thích 28 CXem full giải thích 29 HXem full giải thích 30 FXem full giải thích Question 31 - 40 Complete the notes below. WriteONE WORD ONLYfor each answer. Agricultural programme in Mozambique How the programme was organised
Further developments
Evaluation and lessons learned
Im going to report on a case study of a programme which has been set up to help rural populations in Mozambique, a largely agricultural country in South-East Africa. The programme worked with three communities in Chicualacuala district, near the Limpopo River. This is a dry and arid region, with unpredictable rainfall. Because of this, people in the area were unable to support themselves through agriculture and instead they used the forest as a means of providing themselves with an income, mainly by selling charcoal. However, this was not a sustainable way of living in the long term, as they were rapidly using up this resource. To support agriculture in this dry region, the programme focused primarily on making use of existing water resources from the Limpopo River by setting up systems of irrigation, which would provide a dependable water supply for crops and animals. The programme worked closely with the district government in order to find the best way of implementing this. The region already had one farmers association, and it was decided to set up two more of these. These associations planned and carried out activities including water management, livestock breeding and agriculture, and it was notable that in general, women formed the majority of the workforce. It was decided that in order to keep the crops safe from animals, both wild and domestic, special areas should be fenced off where the crops could be grown. The community was responsible for creating these fences, but the programme provided the necessary wire for making them. Once the area had been fenced off, it could be cultivated. The land was dug, so that vegetables and cereals appropriate to the climate could be grown, and the programme provided the necessary seeds for this. The programme also provided pumps so that water could be brought from the river in pipes to the fields. However, the labour was all provided by local people, and they also provided and put up the posts that supported the fences around the fields. Once the programme had been set up, its development was monitored carefully. The farmers were able to grow enough produce not just for their own needs, but also to sell. However, getting the produce to places where it could be marketed was sometimes a problem, as the farmers did not have access to transport, and this resulted in large amounts of produce, especially vegetables, being spoiled. This problem was discussed with the farmers associations and it was decided that in order to prevent food from being spoiled, the farmers needed to learn techniques for its preservation. There was also an additional initiative that had not been originally planned, but which became a central feature of the programme. This was when farmers started to dig holes for tanks in the fenced-off areas and to fill these with water and use them for breeding fish an important source of protein. After a time, another suggestion was made by local people which hadnt been part of the programmes original proposal, but which was also adopted later on. They decided to try setting up colonies of bees, which would provide honey both for their own consumption and to sell. So what lessons can be learned from this programme? First of all, it tells us that in dry, arid regions, if there is access to a reliable source of water, there is great potential for the development of agriculture. In Chicualacuala, there was a marked improvement in agricultural production, which improved food security and benefited local people by providing them with both food and income. However, its important to set realistic timelines for each phase of the programme, especially for its design, as mistakes made at this stage may be hard to correct later on. The programme demonstrates that sustainable development is possible in areas where 31 IrrigationGiải thích chi tiết >> Để hỗ trợ nông nghiệp ở vùng khô hạn này, chương trình tập trung chủ yếu vào việc tận dụng các nguồn nước hiện có từ sông Limpopo >> Biết đáp án chuẩn bị vào. >> Từ cần điền là "irrigation" 32 womenXem full giải thích 33 wire/wiresXem full giải thích 34 seed/seedsXem full giải thích 35 postsXem full giải thích 36 transportXem full giải thích 37 preservationXem full giải thích 38 fish/fishesXem full giải thích 39 beesXem full giải thích 40 designXem full giải thích Bài viết liên quanĐề thi IELTS Online Test Actual Test 1 - Listening Test 1 - Download PDF Câu hỏi, Transcript và Đáp ánlg...
